Crypto.com Exchange supports order amendments for spot and derivatives

Crypto.com Exchange now supports order amendments, improving execution speed and efficiency for active traders.

Traders can now update an open order’s price or quantity in a single request to the matching engine. The original order is updated in-place without being canceled and recreated. The order ID and all other order parameters are preserved.

It is more efficient than the two-step process of canceling and resubmitting a new order, which introduces additional latency and consumed extra API requests.

Amend order is live for limit orders, and will be available for trigger and advanced order types in coming weeks.

What This Means for You

This enhancement improves how quickly and efficiently you can adjust open orders, particularly in fast-moving markets.

• Less latency in order updates: Price and size changes are processed faster, allowing the order book to reflect new parameters more quickly.
• Clear and predictable queue priority: Order book priority follows these rules:
• • Decreasing quantity: You keep your queue priority at that price level.
  • Increasing quantity: Your order moves to the back of the queue at that price level.
  • Changing price: Your order moves to the back of the queue at the new price level. This ensures consistent and transparent order book behavior
• More efficient API usage: Each amendment counts as a single API request, helping optimize rate limits for traders who actively manage orders.

Why This Matters To Traders

• For traders who frequently adjust open orders, execution efficiency is critical. Reducing unnecessary steps improves responsiveness and simplifies order management.
• This infrastructure enhancement strengthens Crypto.com Exchange’s trading engine and supports advanced trading strategies across Spot and Derivatives markets.
• The improved order amendment flow is now available through the Exchange UI, or programmatically via your preferred connection:
• • REST/WS
  • FIX Protocol (MsgType 35=G)
